Introduction
Whilst the remuneration of top CEO’s is
mentioned in the annual results and normal
employees can find everything they want to
know about their salary on various websites,
little is known about the remuneration and
employment contract of the middle manager.
This series of 3 Vlerick MBA Alumni seminars
will provide high-added value information on
topics as: remuneration levels, different variable
pay possibilities, fringe benefits, management
clauses in employment contracts, promotions,
terminations, fiscal optimizations, …. All tailor
made to the information need of middle
managers.
These seminars will be organized around three
evenings:
 Me and my remuneration (24/11)

What are correct remuneration amounts for middle
managers? Based upon the participant list for this
event, we take some typical Vlerick alumni arrived at
the middle management level and provide some
figures for salary benchmarking. Further on, we
provide the info on what fair remuneration levels are
and how you can assess this. How come two people
with a same function can have very different
